Dear readers, 

Before I say anything else, I know I was a bit confused about my gender identity for a while, but I am non-binary. More sure of it now than I was before.

In other news, I am kind of pissed off right now. So I was watching a movie with my sister and her friend and I pointed out something cis-normative. Basically it was equating having a penis with being a man and having a vagina with being a woman. Anyway, they seemed to really not get why it was a problem because they were talking about who they liked and even ended up saying stuff like  obviously gay people would want someone with a penis and like saying they would not date a man that didn't have a penis. They said like obviously they would want to be able to have sex and I'm like wtf??? A penis is not needed for sex, obviously. Basically it felt like no matter what I said they wouldn't understand that they were being transphobic so I just came downstairs. I really don't want to be around that shit.

That's really all I have to say. I needed to rant.

ciao

Okay, it's only been 5-10 minutes, but I have more to say now. I guess my sister's transphobia gave me the push I needed. I was home last week. I'd gone home with the intention of coming out to my parents, but I ended up not going through with it. I just got back downstairs from calling home. Mum picked up. I was so nervous, but I finally came out to her, and through her, to dad. I was so nervous I started crying. Mum was great about it. I love her so much. I knew that they would be okay with it, I was more worried about them not understanding about me being non-binary and pansexual. But she didn't even question it, she was completely supportive. I'm so blessed to have her as a mother.
